  1. To my knowledge there are only 7 or 8 of the 1991 Convertibles, I bought mine in 2017 from a fellow who owned it since 1994 he said. On power, it is just the standard 305 GM motor and it is a cruiser, not a hot rod at all. I keep kicking around to repower mine, then somedays I think I should sell it and get something else. I do know it gets a lot of attention when we take it out for a ride. They are nice riding and comfortable, just not quick.
  2. I think it made a huge improvement in the look, nice job you did.

    Even here where I live in Arizona we get snow, so the Convertible is locked inside a nice warm garage till next spring. Hope your area is able to recover from that terrible storm.
  4. You did an excellent job of face lifting the dash. Looks new again.
  5. Lets guess on this one, 2. Mercedes
  6. We leave for the winter and will have the Avanti locked up in the garage, so once we return will decide on our course of action. Been looking at just buying a GM new 350 with about 350 hp that would bolt right in and would sure make the repower pretty simple. Or by then we decide to just sell it off. All these decisions make my head hurt...
  7. I ask You to give to Samaritans Purse, You ask and I just did. Looks from so many videos that Samaritans Purse is there helping with all their might. Money is what they can use and will spend it a lot better than our government folks will. Thanks for your endorsment.
  8. plwindish I agree, your red 1988 looks great, I also changed the rear gear to help with the poor get up and go. Switched to 3:73 Posi, helped some, but still not all that much fun to run around in. Going to a 383 would be a lot less expensive and just as fun as a LS. It would be a drop in too, with no major work to pull the 305 and drop a new one in. Don't know what I could get for it should I decided to sell, there are VERY few 1991 convertibles 7 or 8 or think. The fellow who owned it before me said it was the last one made, but i'm not so sure about that. It sure draws attention on every drive, gets thumbs up and smiles. Thanks for telling be about yours.
  9. I going to guess with a light foot #4 17-22
  10. Have a 1991 Converible we bought in 2017 and have had a blast with it cruising around town. It has the 305 power and is not fast, but comfortable and looks pretty nice. So I'm at that point to pull the motor and install a LS, or a more powerful 350/400 or just sell the car off and get something else. Neighbor said it would ruin the value of the car by installing a LS, but would make it really fun and fast. Since I own it I can do as I please and if I changed the motor and when I die my wife would just sell it anyway. She never drives it. Suggestions are welcome...thanks
  11. What a beautiful car you picked up. Your going to get so many questions I'm sure when out and about from many who have never seen one. Hope you enjoy talking to folks..enjoy!
  12. You did an outstanding job, nice enough I'm sure if you wanted the extra work you could advertise that service. Thanks for posting

    Only a guess but I say roof #2
  14. Happy Birthday young man.. I turn 75 in the next couple of weeks. I too enjoy this laid back forum, no fighting and name calling. Ask a question and if someone knows the answer, you get it.
  15. I check this forum every day and some folks are "missing" for months or at least they don't post anything. So it is hard to determine who is here and who is gone, but nice to hear your back.....Big Grin
